You do not need to use the terminal to install VLC. If you have the PPA added to your sources already then just open the package manager and update then install vlc. It will use the PPA as your source for the deb file instead of the one in Ubuntu's repositories. I prefer Synaptic for may package manager because it tells you the origin of the file and lists all of the dependencies. But any package manager should be alble to do this without resorting to the dreaded commandline.

I have 3.0 gig,32 bit duo processor,2 gig memory.
My best info is that I must use terminal,repository,and PPA
to install VLC. Understand that I define "NEWBIE" as yours
truly. So, please give me the commands. I have never used
terminal.That means that I will use the commands you suggest.
I will look up "terminal,command,sudo,etc.....,and try to get it
agoin. VLC is not the only app I want to install.I have more.
After VLC,I`ll try WINE,and go onward. Newbie!
A work in progress.
Cheers
